The Diet Industry

Should the Diet Industry Be Federally Regulated?

With the number of obese children and adults in the United States rising year after year, the diet industry is given a growing possibility to make profit. Pills and shakes rule the nationwide commercials, promising a rapid weight loss and a youthful body. The diet industry makes billions of dollars every year by marketing and selling their products in a persuasive manner. However, those products are not the golden way out to lose weight. They can even cause severe health problems. Besides that, the diet industry should be federally regulated because its products are inefficient in helping people to lose weight, and the industry commits fraud by broadcasting misleading commercials.
